Josh and Thailand

Josh is leaving tomorrow morning very very very early to go to Thailand. He'll be there for 17 days! He'll be doing all sorts of things. I am worried that he'll...get hurt or something worse. This is what Cherise wrote on her xanga about it.

"Have you ever felt like this could be the last time you see someone?
My brother Josh is going to Thailand soon. The other day I was reading about the missing & crashed planes in that region of the world... then thought about the various diseases, wild creatures, and dangers over there... and I was struck with this terror that he won't come back. I said goodbye to him last night, and it was just weird. I don't know where this fear is coming from. This morning in a devotional and then in a song on the radio, God reminded me that heaven is our true home. So if Josh (or anyone that knows the Lord) goes on from here, they are merely going home - which is far better. But I will still pray for his safety, and for the safety of our friend he will be visiting."


I hope you take the time to read this.
